AUSTIN COUNTRY CLUB IS SET TO WELCOME
64 OF THE WORLD’S BEST PLAYERS FOR THE
2018 WGC-DELL TECHNOLOGIES MATCH
PLAY. FROM THE PUREST BALL-STRIKERS TO
SOME SCRAMBLING WIZARDS, THESE ARE THE
TEXAS SHOWDOWNS WE WANT TO SEE.
JORDAN SPIETH VS. JUSTIN THOMAS
The childhood friends have been playing against each
other since they were 13 years old – and Spieth has
always held the slight edge over his good mate. But
Thomas is beginning to buck that trend, and he now
sits higher in the world ranking (No.2 vs. No.4).
Thomas is the reigning PGA Tour Player of
the Year and FedExCup champion after he won
five events in 2017, which included his maiden
major title the US PGA Championship. Yet in
the eyes of most onlookers, Spieth is still held
in a higher regard.
Should this match-up eventuate, Thomas
will have a point to prove and it will make for
great viewing.
PERFECT
